Love the beam that looks like it has had pulleys on.

hi , if you are building of a slab inside the barn what thickness is it and what thickness is insulation . was it a consideration to put a strip footing to build internal walls off. cheers Mike

[@mikewoodspropertychannel]

@@jasgillingham Hi Floor slab would be 100mm. The insulation would be relevant to your SAP but most cases min 100mm. Yes a strip found 450x225mm for an internal wall. We thickened the slab here. 225mm deep and 450mm wide

Good to see you are doing a professional job. As a builder myself with 36 years experience oddley I have never done a Barn conversion. Obviously there are no foundations to the barn, how is the main structure secured for years to come? And what about a DPC to external walls, Is this just injected?

[@mikewoodspropertychannel]

Thanks. No Dpc in outer existing stone skin- no need. We have constructed a timber frame, off new slab. (Non load bearing)
